Capítulo 45: Chapter 32 Beyond Humanity

The setting sun's afterglow painted the clouds at the edge of the sky with splendid and spectacular colors, but it surrendered the city's terrain to the dusk.

In the distance, the cawing of crows circling the low sky twice added a desolate touch to the abandoned streets.

Lin Xingjie stopped in her tracks.

For a moment, she felt as though someone was watching her.

The girl uneasily glanced around. The intersection that led elsewhere, the utility poles, the sidewalk trees, the space under the fence... every place covered by the shadows of twilight seemed to conceal something.

But she was well aware that there was no one nearby.

Lin Xingjie could "smell" the scent of life, the scent of humans, the scent of ordinary animals, and even that of otherworldly beings... as long as she summoned Xiao An.

Yet, that gaze was palpable. It did not come from any particular direction; its source felt like it was from a much more distant place. But its presence felt very close to her.
